He explores not only the variations that the concept has undergone throughout its history - from Ancient Greek discourse around \u003ci\u003ephantasia\u003c\/i\u003e to the present day - but also the changing consequences of its applications. \u003ci\u003eLacanian Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e includes further insights on our current predicament: the age of the social media image and fantasy in the uncertain 'locked down' world of a pandemic. Spanning numerous examples, both historical and recent, this book explores relatable forms of fantasy life. In bridging psychology and philosophy, as well as gender and sexuality studies, it ultimately opens new perspectives on fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to psychoanalytic practitioners and humanities scholars, as well as students interested in critical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKirk Turner\u003c\/strong\u003e received his PhD in philosophy from Deakin University, Australia.
